The lovely Stephy from Troll River Publications asked me a few questions to help get to know more about my new release. I hope you enjoy!
- You seemed to have been able to reach into the minds of unsatisfied married women everywhere. What was your inspiration for Izzy, Seb and “More”?
I love reading, especially books in the erotic romance genre. I often get swept up in the fantasy of what these romances portray and I love the escapism that they provide me. However, I wanted to feel like these fantasies, these stories, could happen.
Unfortunately, adultery, divorce or un-happy relationships are a common aspect of life. If you haven’t been effected directly by it, the likelihood is, you know someone who has. While I don’t condone Izzy’s actions in the book (I’d like to say I am happily married!), I think there are elements that are very relatable to women everywhere.
We’ve all fantasied over the tall, dark and handsome (please add your own physical traits to suit) stranger, whisking us off our feet and showering us with love and affection. That remains in my story. It’s just a little more real.
I was also sure that I wanted Izzy and Seb to have to fight. That it wouldn’t be an easy relationship and that simple and often small things could unsettle them, again, much like real life.
- Will there be a sequel?
Oh yes! I’m finishing it off at the moment. Izzy and Seb’s journey isn’t over yet.
- What are you writing after that?
Well, there are a few projects underway but I will be continuing with The Evermore Series. Jess will be getting her story soon. In fact, I’m really excited to get to her. I had only originally planned to write Izzy and Seb. Then one evening, stuck in traffic, Jess’ whole romance came to me. I had to dictate it into a voice memo on my phone as I didn’t want to forget it.
- What kind of Dom is Seb?
Seb has a line in More, where he tells Izzy that he considers himself a considerate Dom. For me, I wanted him to have authority but also have a likeable side. Not too intimidating. He’s also got his own flaws. One thing about this story that I wanted to come through was that the characters aren’t perfect. I wanted it to feel grounded in real life. A Dom who has struggled to find his perfect match, in and out of the bedroom. That’s how i’ve pictured Seb. Confident and successful, but with something missing in his life.
It’s all part of the fantasy of it. That there is this amazing man out there ready to swoop in and rescue you and offer you everything you’ve ever dreamed of!
- What traits do you think are needed for a relationship to work?
If you are the parent fast delivery cialis of a teen, get your teen enrolled in a reputable driving school like Driver Ed Texas, where he or she can get the best preparation for the road. Various drugs are available to treat impotence, cheap cialis generic http://djpaulkom.tv/cialis4696.html increases sperm production and enlarges the penis. Though the market is making a noise with the sound of effective and cheap Kamagra, the person can last longer in the bed and satisfy her completely. purchase viagra discover that website The main reason behind the introduction of the Silagra was the high cost of the branded viagra 50 mg , thus it was beyond the reach of general mass.
Love, understanding and communication. Oh and laughter! We see Izzy struggle in her relationship and a lot of that can be put down to her issues with communication. Sometimes it can be hard. Relationships aren’t easy but those four things will certainly help.
- What would you say to all those on Ashley-Madison?
I find it quite amusing that there’s even a dating sight for married people. ‘Life is short. Have an affair.’ Really?? If you’re that un-happy in your marriage, then talk to your partner and try to sort it out. An affair isn’t going to be your answer.
And if your name was leaked, serves you right!
More: The Evermore Series (Book 1) will be released 25th September.
